New York is digging a financial hole that may take years to recover from.  NY suspends licenses of four bars, including one on LI, and adds 10 states to quarantine list, Cuomo says.  Governor Cuomo is seriously doing more harm to New York than anyone thought possible.  It is time that Governor pays attention to the science of the virus; he is overreacting to his initial deadly mistake of forcing nursing homes to admit/readmit COVID-19 positive patients.  What he is doing now does not mitigate his earlier judgement, in fact, it is obvious that New York’s death rate – what he fears most will inch up again – is due to his mishandling the COVID-19 crisis.  It is also a problem that most of the main stream media fails to recognize that fact.  For the governor to say follow the facts and science on a regular basis, he fails to follow his own advice; but that is nothing new to those of us who have followed his career.

Chicago says no to President Trump’s offer to help; Portland condemns federal troops being there, Cuomo sits in front of a photo in the daily news telling cops to do their jobs, yet all three cities have made it possible for lawlessness to survive.  Those of us who are still proud Americans want this to end.  President Trump, we have your back.  It is really a shame that progressive only have their lust for power driving them and they ignore, not they completely try to discredit what President Trump is doing for all Americans who want the opportunity to live the American Dream.

The Hill has this article, Quarantines for out-of-state visitors exceeds governors’ emergency authority, dated July 14, 2020.  We happen to agree that this exceeds the emergency authority of the tri-state governors, and today, upon learning that Governor Andrew Cuomo is going to Georgia (one of the states on the quarantine list) we can’t help but wonder, if he will follow his own advice and self-quarantine upon his return?  Or is the Emperor above the rules he makes for others?

I know New York very well, I know the police very well, New York’s Finest, and the fact is, they’re restricted from doing anything, they can’t do anything.”

In all honesty, crime is out of control in New York, Chicago, Portland and far too many other places.  The wild west was nothing compared to what is going on today.  Pray that America and Americans find their way…soon, very soon.

De Blasio Signs Police Reform Into Law

 Anti NYPD and pro criminal Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a package of police reform bills into law earlier this week as violent crimes continue to skyrocket within his city.

The Mayor used the painting of a Black Lives Matter mural as the backdrop to his signing ceremony, pandering to radical far left voters whose only goal is to abolish the police force. Overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday, just hours before de Blasio further handcuffed the NYPD, at least 11 people were shot city wide.

Amongst the most controversial was the outlawing of chokeholds by the NYPD which Chief of Department Terrence Monahan labeled as “insane.”

New York State Troopers President Thomas Mungeer didn’t take too kindly to the Mayors decision to make the job of a police officer more dangerous and called for the immediate withdrawal of State troopers from New York City.

“This poorly conceived bill, which will be signed into law by Mayor de Blasio today, puts an undue burden upon our troopers; it opens them up to criminal and civil liability for restraining a person during a lawful arrest in a manner that is consistent with their training and is legal throughout the rest of the state,” Mungeer said.

While the Mayor kowtowed to the likes of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, I joined thousands of Church members, clergy, law enforcement, community activists and concerned citizens in a peaceful march from Brooklyn to City Hall in support of ending the violence and supporting law and order, and quality of life within New York City and throughout New York State.

Unfortunately, a truly peaceful gathering amongst a very diverse group of concerned New Yorker’s was violent; attacked by counter protestors who injured at least 4 police officers, including a blindsided attack on Chief Monahan.

As Congressman Lee Zeldin pointed out last week, the city is in dire need of real leadership and while Mayor de Blasio is out doing arts and crafts in the streets, law abiding residents are watching the destruction of New York City little by little, with no action from City Hall other than to villainize the men and women of the NYPD.

Joe Biden looking to Bernie Sanders for Advice on Raising Taxes

 Joe Biden has made it very clear, the Trump tax cuts will be a thing of the past under his presidency, instead he will be looking to add more regulations, higher taxes and adopt the Green New Deal, all of which will cripple the strongest economy this country has ever seen.

“If you elect me, your taxes are going to be raised” Biden gleefully proclaimed at a rally in South Carolina. A repeal of the Trump Administrations Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will result in a $2,000 annual tax increase on a median income family of four, along with a $1,300 annual tax increase on a median income single parent with one child.

Even CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t buy the nonsense coming from Biden who claimed Americans weren’t benefiting from the tax cuts, stating “In fact, estimates from both sides of the political spectrum show that the majority of people in the United States of America did receive a tax cut.”

There are many reasons to be concerned with Joe Biden, whether it be his controversial voting record as a career politician, his physical health, or his silence on the devastating affects anti police rhetoric is having on inner city communities, one thing is for certain; our economy will suffer. There will be no rebound in a Biden White House.

President Trump built the strongest economy this country has ever seen, a global pandemic slowed and nearly crippled that work, but he has brought it back and will continue to bring it back even stronger.

THIS LOCAL BAR FOUND A BRILLIANT WAY AROUND ANDREW CUOMO’S LATEST TYRANICAL COVID RESTRICTION 

AOC urges Cuomo to support wealth tax on New York billionaires

Mayor de Blasio says NYC is ‘safer’ and ‘better’ since releasing inmates, ignores skyrocketing crime rate

De Blasio says he has ‘no respect’ for NYPD union leadership

Trump says Biden would ‘abolish the suburbs’ and replace it with ‘socialist nightmare’

 

This headline is spot on:  With Joe Biden in charge of law enforcement, there will hardly be any.

AOC Gets Caught Gaslighting About New York’s Rising Violent Crime.   (I admit, I am a dinosaur when it comes to slang, so I had to ask Siri what does gaslighting mean.  According to Siri, gaslighting as a verb is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality, in other words, they deny the other persons point of view and tries to make them think it is not true.)  How typical is that of AOC who believes she is smarter than anyone.  It really is so unbecoming of a member of Congress, and a huge disservice to her constituents who will ultimately be the ones hurt by AOC’s power grab.

How Is the Left of the ’60s Different from the Left of Today?

When they’re going after the Virgin Mary, you know protest has turned to madness.

Jeff Minick writes in Intellectual Takeout how in his life has he never seen such uninspiring leadership among our politicians.  (Don’t despair, we have a chance to change this in November.) Missing in Action: Leaders in a Time of Crisis.

Mr. Mayor: this is NOT leadership.

Neither is this, Mr. Mayor.  Really, the state courts should take responsibility?  You and your backers, the NYS Legislature under the “leadership” of Governor Andrew Cuomo opened this Pandora’s Box.  All of you demanded criminal justice reform…what on earth did you think would happen?  You are witnessing the results of your changes; all of you tied the hands of the state courts and now you have the audacity to blame them?  What planet are you from??  To say that you need the court system to run again…insinuating that because COVID-19 closed the system…is mind-boggling.  Even when the courts are back in business, their hands have been tied by the actions taken by those who support the deadly mistakes of the criminal justice reform supported by progressives.  Disgraceful remarks, disgraceful lack of leadership.

NYC shooting surge continues, injuring at least six people across city.

Anti-cop madness is forcing some leaders to say, ‘Enough’

Mike Bloomberg’s gun-control group will spend $1 million to help Democrats try to flip Pa. legislature.  Why doesn’t Mike Bloomberg spend $1 million to stop criminals from getting illegal weapons?  Hasn’t the gun violence that he abhors (as we all do) prominent in democratic controlled cities and states?  Why does he want to make another state vulnerable?  It isn’t nor has it ever been people who purchase guns legally that are the problem, it is the gangs, thugs and those who could never but a gun legally that is the problem.  One could pass thousands of laws but they will never stop the ones who don’t give a damn about the lives of innocent people.   At least Bloomberg dropped out of the presidential race, so he won’t have that bully pulpit to spread his misinformed message.

And as soon as we have the vaccine,  people will argue over getting the vaccine.  We will leave that argument to another day.   Today, however, the choice is ultimately yours to make…make it a smart choice.

Gov. Cuomo’s nursing home report is facing more blistering criticism from outside of NYS…as well it should.  However, it doesn’t stop “our emperor” from attacking President Trump by saying, “Trump’s COVID scandal makes Nixon’s Watergate look innocent.”  Rather political statement by “our emperor” who likes to say this is not the time for politics.  In fact, he said partisanship will make COVID-19 pandemic even worse in America.  How things have changed in the emperor’s mind, when under attack, his political reaction is defensive and punitive.  He believes the puff journalism pieces, believes he is invincible but, when a crack in his armor occurs, he goes for the jugular; wounding isn’t enough.

Rich Lowry opines in today’s NY Post:  It’s just nuts to praise New York’s ‘success’ against coronavirus.

Emperor Cuomo must have been influenced by George Orwell’s 1984.

The NY Times became the “Old Gray Lady” in 1951  when the newspaper was “regarded by many in the world at large (and all within its own world) as the world’s greatest. And newsmen generally hail it as “old” and “gray” by way of acknowledging its traditional special marks: starch conservatism and circumspection.”  Bari Weiss slams ‘new McCarthyism’ in scathing resignation letter as a NY Times opinion editor.   The “Old Gray Lady” is no more and lost its standing as the world’s greatest a long time ago.

If former VP Joe Biden isn’t true to his religious tenets, how will he be true to the US Constitution?   Will he pick and choose the doctrines that he likes to enforce and ignore the ones he doesn’t?  These is a serious question to think about, since he touts being a Roman Catholic and supporter of the US Constitution.

Governor Cuomo, here is another organization calling for an independent investigation on the COVID-19 deaths on New York’s nursing homes.  Answers, Governor Cuomo, answers are needed, not a whitewashing  of deadly mistakes.  The Emperor definitely has no clothes on when it comes to this issue: Cuomo says his nursing home report ‘has the facts.’ Others worry it has a ‘preconceived conclusion’.  We will continue our demand for an independent investigation!

The coffers are empty, so the Governor says:  Out-of-state travelers must tell NY authorities where they came from or face fine, Cuomo says.

Really, Governor?  Isn’t it about time you acted like an adult?  Gov. Cuomo produces old-school poster glorifying coronavirus response.

Brooklyn Conservatives, Republicans to Hold Joint Rally in Support of NYPD

 This Saturday, July 11^th, the Brooklyn Conservative Party and Brooklyn Republican Party will be holding a joint rally in support of the NYPD. We have seen similar rallies take place successfully all around the state, and this one will be no different as many seem eager to join. It is imperative we support our New York City Police Officers who are villainized every day by the Mayor and liberal City Council.

Last week, about 1,000 people gathered in Wantagh, Long Island, and Wednesday hundreds gathered outside of Staten Island’s 122 Precinct in solidarity with police.

Violent crimes have spiked dramatically throughout New York City this year. In the last 28 days alone, shooting victims are up 204% from this time last year. In that same time, murder victims are up 21.2%.

While these violent crimes continue to rise, the Mayor and City Council have responded by doing away with plain clothed anti-crime units and defunding the NYPD by $1 billion.

We hope you will be able to join us in Brooklyn at 11:00am this Saturday at the corner of 75^th and 13^th Ave.

Department of Health Investigates Themselves, Finds No Fault

 It comes as no surprise that the New York State Department of Health found themselves blameless for the over 6,000 lives that were lost in New York nursing homes. Instead, they doubled down on defending their order, and unconscionably blamed nursing home staff for transmitting the virus to its residents.

New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said Monday that a memo issued by the agency on March 25 disallowing nursing homes from denying admission to residents based on a positive COVID-19 diagnosis was not to blame for the highest nursing home death toll in the country.

The Conservative Party has called for an independent investigation from day one, knowing New York State will do anything they can to cover their tracks. The facts are simple; thousands of New Yorker’s died in state nursing homes. Under no circumstance should infected patients have ever been admitted to these facilities and the state investigating themselves and finding no wrong doing is a slap in the face to all the families who lost a loved one.

I want to thank Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and all the elected officials who have stood up to the Governor and his attack dogs who have done nothing but bark nonsense in an effort to distract from the fact that his administration played a significant role in the deaths of countless New Yorkers.

We continue to call on U.S. Attorney General Barr to order an independent investigation.

Rep. Zeldin Calls on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to Resign Before It’s Too Late

With about 18 months remaining on his final term as New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio has almost single handedly undone two decades worth of work that made New York City amongst the safest big cities in the country.

Crime has gone through the roof in 2020. Murder, shooting victims, shooting incidents, grand larceny and burglary are all up the last 28 days by at least 21.2%. Murder was up 50% last week alone compared to the same week in 2019. The recent spike correlated with the disbanding of the plain-clothes anti-crime NYPD unit which was responsible for many weapons and violent offender arrests.

Congressman Lee Zeldin has officially sounded the alarm nationally calling on the Mayor to be removed before New York City becomes unlivable.

“Homicides, shootings & other crimes continue spiking in NYC. Quality of life is taking a beating, cops are being thrown under the bus, & the radical left is in charge & destroying the city. DeBlasio must be removed immediately. The city won’t make it through the rest of his term” he said on twitter Wednesday.

The rise in crime is startling and I agree with the Congressman; New York City will be unrecognizable with 18 more months of Bill de Blasio.

Live Wednesday, July 15^th,  7:00pm With Tom Basile

We are happy to have Tom Basile join us this Wednesday for a conversation on a broad range of topics.

A bestselling author, columnist, speaker, and commentator Tom Basile has been in the middle of the action on the biggest stories and hottest issues of the two last decades. His work in the worlds of politics, government, media, and business have made him a powerful voice in our national conversation, and a sought-after lecturer and contributor in the media. For more than 20 years he has provided strategic and crisis communications counsel to companies, policy organizations, government agencies, non-profits, advocacy campaigns and grassroots groups.

Tom has served in government at the local, state, and federal levels including in the administrations of Gov. George Pataki and President George W. Bush.

Today’s major news is from the US Supreme Court; two decisions directly effecting President Donald J. Trump.  The first one that came down allows Manhattan DA Vance’s grand jury subpoenas for documents from accounting firm Mazars USA and the Trump Organization as well as his tax returns,  to go forward and the second punted the Democratic Congressional request back to the lower courts because, as Justice Roberts noted, “The House’s approach would leave essentially no limits on the congressional power to subpoena the President’s personal records.”  Neither decision will have an immediate effect, much to the disdain of desperate democrats.  Of course, most of the media coverage will focus on these decisions being a big Trump loss, however, once people look behind the headlines, the decisions are not as damaging as the main stream media would have you think. One thing is certain, we have not heard the end of either court decision.   Our system of government has always believed that no one is above the law, that essentially is what was reaffirmed in the first decision and the second decision reaffirms that “fishing expeditions” by those in power should not be allowed.

Supreme Court rules in favor of Little Sisters of the Poor in ObamaCare contraception case. The court ruled 7-2 in favor of the Trump administration and the Catholic charity. “The majority opinion, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, ruled that the Trump administration’s challenged rulemaking was aboveboard, and hailed the work of the Little Sisters of the Poor.”

Health czar Howard Zucker’s pathetic bid to clear himself on NY’s nursing home deaths.  “In fact, the report says 6,326 infected patients were transferred from hospitals to nursing homes from March 25 to May 8. How can any data show that was unrelated to the virus’ deadly spread in those homes?

“We’re not the United States of Denial. We have never been a nation that has excelled because we refused to admit the problem,” he added.  This was said by Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday and it is just one of the most outrageous things he has ever said.  Andrew Cuomo is in a constant state of denial, proven yet again with the release of the “investigation” into the deaths of over 6,000 Mom, Dads, Grandparents and siblings confined in nursing homes.  He has no shame at all.  He keeps silent on the surge of crime (as if the social justice reforms he demanded has nothing to do with the surge), he keeps silent on when or if schools will reopen in September, silent on how he intends to enforce quarantines from visitors from hotspots, yet, he does not keep silent on what a great job he thinks he is doing (of course, the media has practically anointed him a modern day god) and if anyone thinks this man is not running for president, they are living in La-La Land.  We ask again, how can the Commissioner who issued the March 25 mandate, investigate himself?  Denial!  No moral compass! Incapable of admitting they (Governor and Commissioner) made a mistake.  If Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Zucker believed they had not made a major error, why did they rescind the memo on May 10, 2020.  It is disgraceful that Commissioner Zucker – and Gov. Cuomo – have placed the blame on the men and women who, while underpaid, have devoted their lives to taking care of our elderly.  We will continue to fight for the truth and vow that it will never happen again under our watch.

Ken Blackwell writes about Lawlessness, The Murder of Our Children and The Soul of America.

We hope you all had a safe and happy 4^th of July, certainly if you heard President Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore you were proud to be an American.  In case you missed it, you can watch it here.  Of course, if you only read the main stream media’s reporting on the speech, you would wonder if they were listening to the same speech.  The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) had this to say, “Contrary to the media reporting, the America Mr. Trump described is one of genuine racial equality and diversity. He highlighted the central ideal of the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.” As he rightly put it, “these immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom” that included the abolition of slavery more than a half century later.  Rojer Kimball had this to say in American Greatness:  A Magnificent Speech

Unfortunately, far too many people have decided to ignore the history of America; the way we embrace differences and do our best to undo the faults of our beginnings.  Today, the calls to “cancel” ring loud and frenzied, without thought, without understanding the importance of knowing how far we have come.  In Rochester, NY, a local hero, Fredrick Douglass who gave one of the most important anti-slavery speeches prior to the civil war, had one of the statues the city built to honor his memory, destroyed.  Read more about what happened here.  We cannot let the forces determined to destroy the greatest nation ever created, the one nation that people still plea to become a citizen of, win by dividing America.

“Our valiant police officers have one of the most perilous, stressful duties around, and from what I have seen in my nearly dozen years here, they do it with care, compassion and competence,” said Timothy Cardinal Dolan over the weekend.  We couldn’t agree more.  Thank you, Cardinal Dolan, for speaking out on behalf of our police officers.

For those who thought that the US Supreme Court wouldn’t have a unanimous decision for a long time; today’s was.

Seriously, Governor?  This is what you must discuss at your briefings?  How can we possibly survive without your help?

Wow. Governor Cuomo can’t even post Happy 4th of July, Happy Independence Day America. Rather he says on America’s 244 Birthday: Happy Saturday us. This from the man who said, America was never that great. So disheartening, but not surprising.

Happy 4^th of July

This weekend marks the 244^th anniversary of the original patriots saying enough is enough, and declaring independence for the United States of America.

We are reminded daily that our freedoms and constitution are under attack, and now, on this Independence Day, it is more important than ever to remember how far we have come as a nation.

The United States of American has helped rid the world of tyranny and oppression, defended against terrorism, and provided its citizens with the most freedom in living our life experiences anywhere in the world.

As we take a long weekend to celebrate the 4^th, I hope every person will take a moment to remember those who have fought to preserve our freedoms and paid the ultimate price.

We must come together to keep our country on the path of prosperity. Enjoy the blessings of freedom and Independence, but also do your part to preserve it for generations to come.

Happy 4^th of July.
